MOLEKYL 2 Black

€81.00

Consisting of a metal pipe, a magnetic and numerous steel balls, Molekyl is a unique candleholder that plays with materials, magnets, shapes and individuality all at the same time. The final design of Molekyl is unfinished, with the ultimate shape decided by you.

Each candleholder comes with 25 large and 25 small steel balls. With endless possibilities for arranging the balls and candle pipe as you wish, no two Molekyl candleholders are the same.

The essence of Molekyl is individuality and personalised creation. As all of the elements are held together with a magnet that are powerful enough to interact through non-magnetic materials, unique objects are created that seem to challenge the traditional laws of physics.

Use the candleholder as a centerpiece on the table or on the windowsill. Combine multiple candleholders to create a traditional Christmas or seasonal display. Or take a more bold approach by placing the candle pipe on top of the balls like it is floating over a cluster of molecules. Place some of the steel balls under a thin table to play with perceptions of space and gravity. Alternatively, create your design using just the large or small balls together.

Molekyl is available in chrome for a classic expression, black for a rawer feel and brass to create a more exclusive look.

Michael says: “Being a designer means absorbing all of the daily influences that life offers endlessly, and consciously experiencing it. All the sounds, colours, forms and events are mixed together in the subconscious with your personality and emotions, so that all of this can be combined to form something new: A new idea which is extracted from the absorbed old and comes back to the surface of the conscious as images of new products. This is what I term the new simple.”

Michael has already won and been nominated for numerous design awards in his career so far. Most notably, he received a German Design Award in 2017 for his Molekyl Candleholder design.
